Lemon Mandarin is for growers who like everything big. Fast Buds crossed two citrus heavyweights to make her: its keeper Lemonade cut and Tangie from Crockett’s selection. The aim was to combine the strongest traits of both parents, and she delivers on all of them: a euphoric, invigorating high, plenty of trichomes and a bittersweet citrus profile.
This feminized photoperiod hybrid hits 25-30% THC and grows into a true tree. Fast Buds rates her XL, with heights of 150-200 cm (59-79 in), extreme resilience and lots of side branching.
She does well indoors and outdoors, and her vigor and aroma make her a great fit for anyone chasing a complex citrus strain with real size.
Growing Lemon Mandarin
Fast Buds offers a few practical tips from its own grows. First, give her support. The branches may not hold the weight of the buds on their own, so a SCROG net, trellis or stakes are strongly recommended. Second, give her room. To get the biggest yield per plant indoors, run no more than 2-3 plants per square meter (about 11 ft²), because she gets very bushy.
Third, plan on regular defoliation. She grows lots of large, wide fan leaves, and thinning them improves airflow through the canopy late in flowering. Bloom takes 9-10 weeks. Indoor yields reach 500-600 g/m² (1.6-2 oz/ft²), and outdoor plants can produce up to 1,200 g (42 oz) each.
Aroma, Flavor and Effects
Lemon Mandarin smells like a citrus grove. Tangie’s signature tang meets sharp lemon zest and the sweetness of ripe mandarin, creating a strong tangerine-lemon fragrance that hangs in the air long after the session ends. Fast Buds lists the taste as mandarin, lemon and sweet.
The effect follows the flavor: bright, euphoric and invigorating, a lively high suited to daytime and social settings. With THC up to 30%, it is strong, so pace yourself.
Pair her massive frame with a well-planned SCROG and good airflow, and Lemon Mandarin turns into a citrus-scented showpiece: tall, productive and coated in frost from top to bottom.
